Wow, Sports. Your first game was in 1948? Was it the skins?

No, it was a college football game on Thanksgiving day between Penn and Cornell. Penn had this linebacker named Bednarik...
You may have heard of him because of his NFL career... I was 5 years old at the time and froze my butt off that day because it was colder than a well digger's b*lls... |

that kinda sucks that there r so few courses of action to play in the nfl especially since that's the only way most of the guys coming out of college can make a living.

Awesome, Sports. When did you get into the skins?

My wife moved to DC in 1969 because she had a job in this area. We spent a year "apart" and seeing each other on weekends because I was finishing up grad school. I moved here in 1970 and have been here ever since.
Obviously, I am a sports fan and if you live here and you are into NFL football, it is pretty obviousl where your interests and attention and focus will be. |

Sports: I also moved to DC in 1969. (I was born three months earlier in NYC!) I agree: if you like football, and you're in the DC area, it's all skins. I have found that skins fans are very unlikely to switch alligiance when they move (but maybe this is true with most NFL teams). I've grown to like the Knicks, to tolerate the Rangers and Mets, but I can not stand the sight of giants or jets paraphenalia, much less the teams themselves.
Anyway, your expertise is much appreciated, even if you do tend to rain on our overly optimistic, pie-in-the-sky parade-like scenarios! Cheers.

JWsleep:
Raining on parades is what curmudgeons do. I prefer to view it as a way for my generation to "keep it real". |
